Ha. - The master of a party fishing ves sel told today of "the big one that got away' and fifty witnesses backed up his story. Capt. J. B. Mathews, skipper of the Capt. Bae Strickland, and his crew fought a losing seven-hour battle with a 45-foot whale shark In the Gulf of Mexico Sunday. "It was the biggest thing we've ever seen .outside a plaster cast of a whale in the New York Museum of Natural History," said Karl Dronke of Newark. N.J.. who was aboard with his wife and son, Karl Jr.. Mathews and his crewman, Mil ton (Sonny) Payne, had an idea they'd run into a specimen of the world's biggest fish when the Capt. Bae Strickland shoved off Sunday for a 'day's fishing in the Gulf, with more than 50 persons aboard. Mathews had spotted a hugh whale shark In the fishing grounds 50 miles off John's Pass week earlier. He hooked the whale shark on a 370-pound test line then but the line snapped like a thread. Sunday, be was prepared with "tackle" that Included a foot-long shark hook, three-foot chain leader and 500 feet of five-eighth manila line. This was double spliced into the anchor cable which was an inch thick, with the capstan as a reel." . . When the customers began haul ing In cobia up to 25 pounds, Math ews knew the whale shark was nearby, for these are free-loading nsn wnicn irau the shark lor tid bits. , i The Capt. Bae Strickland made I a dozen passes at the whale shark before Payne sank the hook Into ; tfte big fish's lower jaw. "The crew played It like any other fish," Dronke Said. "Math ews kept a tight line on him and Payne handled the capstan reel. They'd throw the boat in reverse now and then to take up slack, then shut off the engine and let the whale shark tow us. Some aboard complained because the captain wouldn't stop and let them ' catch grouper. i "The whale shark didn't seem j to bleed, At least It didn't attract any other sharks. "The party fishing boat Atlanta came alongside and took off those who'd had enough, but we stayed. ' So did about 25 others." ! The ship's log showed the whale shark towed It 18 miles during the seven hours the fight lasted. Then H gave a lunge, snapped the line and left. Mathews estimated It would weigh 15,000 to 20,000 pounds. Knovland Defends GOP Record WASHINGTON Ben.

The equipment responded to an alarm by a passer-by that smoke, sparks and possibly flames were coming from the delegation build ing. The firemen were turned back by the guards, however. A Russian, who described him self as the "officer on duty," said the delegation personnel was "only using a fireplace" and there was no reason for firemen to have come.
